Pipe Clamp Glue-up Rack

My shop has no room for an auxiliary table for glue-ups. And I don't like the mess and distraction of having to do these glue-ups on my workbench. So to solve this problem I use a wall system that holds my pipe clamps whenever I need to do assembly and gluing tasks. This makes for efficient use of my space.

My glue-up rack is nothing more than a .series of cleats with holes bored to accept the ends of the clamps. To make it, I first screwed 2x4's alongside the wall studs in my shop. Since I

needed to drill a number of holes for the pipe clamps, I wanted to be sure to maintain the structural integrity of the original framing in my shop.

I set the holes 10" apart and made sure they lined up level on the other side, like you see in the photo below. This way I can do a number of glue-ups at one time if I need to.

Once the glue-up is done, ifs easy to remove the pipe clamps from the wall.
